Kate Price’s lover says he only slaps on feminine gear for “special occasions” and is very “proud” of who he is.

The 34-year-old cage fighter also revealed he likes to experiment in the bedroom and he and Kate love to push their sex lives to the limit.

Last night a friend confirmed Alex dresses up for bedroom romps. “he loves dressing up for sex.” he said. “Kate is also a game girl.”

Alex came clean yesterday after we exclusively told you last week that he had been wearing high heels and miniskirts since he was a teenager.

The burly brawler had remained tight-lipped about the revelations.

But yesterday he spoke out at last, saying: “I’m very gay, I love cross-dressing”.

Speaking in OK! magazine Alex said he and Kate, 31, were both sexually “uninhibited” and loved to experiment.

And he said he saw his cross-dressing as “a bit of fun”, which didn’t hurt anyone. “It’s a laugh,” he said. “So what? There are wars happening everywhere and people care about this? Give me a break.

“If I go out and wear a dress, so f***ing what? I’m proud of who I am, bring it on.” And he reckons there are thousands of men all over the UK who are hiding secrets

“I bet loads of people who slag me off for this are harbouring some desire that they’re too scared to admit or experience.”

Asked if his habit makes him gay or bi- sexual, he said: “I’m very gay, I love the world. I’m tri-sexual – I’ll try anything.”

Alex also spoke out about how attached he had become to Kate and Peter Andre’s children. He revealed four-year-old Junior had called him dad. He claims he corrected him immediately, but added: “I’ve bonded with Junior like you would not believe.”

But Peter, 36, was outraged at his comments last night and said: “He has gone too far this time.

“People have to remember this is a family and there is a little boy involved.”

A source close to the Aussie singer said: “It is absolutely disgusting. This is a young boy and his dad and for Peter to read that is truly awful.”

Yesterday Kate was at Channel 4’s studios filming for the new series of the F Word with foul-mouthed chef Gordon Ramsay.
